The Atlanta Falcons hope to pursuade tight end Tony Gonzalez to make one more Super Bowl run, according to an ESPN.com report. Sources told the web site that Gonzalez is wavering on his retirement plans, and the team would like to keep him in uniform for another season. An unrestricted free agent, Gonzalez told reporters after Atlanta's loss in the NFC Championship Game that he would only be interested in playing for the Falcons if he returned. Gonzalez, who will turn 38 next week, holds NFL records for touchdown receptions (107) and reception yards (14,268) by a tight end. He caught 93 passes for 930 yards and eight touchdowns last season.
